Hi Chris,
I still like to believe Michael is innocent until proven guilty.. you kinda have to look at it this way….
While Michael Jackson was growing he faced a lot of hardship, he was brought straight into the entertainment industry. He was robbed of a happy childhood and was forced to sing learn his songs, learn the dance steps and make music. His dad would abuse him emotionally calling him ‘big nose’ which is why he had plastic surgery.. I mean, think about it…. if ur mum or dad insulted you from a very young age you would grow up believing it… U would look in the mirror everyday hating it and want to eventually do something about it… Michael turned to plastic surgery and I would have too if I was in his position…
With his skin condition, he didn’t ask to be white.. michael’s skin started growing paler where rumors started that he was bleaching his is skin. Michael was diagnosed with vitiligo and lupus. For those of you that don’t know wat it is, vitiligo is a pigmentation disorder where the cells that make pigment (colour) in the skin are destroyed. As a result, white patches appear on the skin in different parts of the body.. AND he had lupus, so while he was getting treatment both illnesses caused his skin to become sensitive to light.. so yes eventually he did end up bleaching his skin to even out the blotches…. If you had blotchy skin would u do something about it? I know I would!
As for neverland he developed it to make up for his own lack of childhood.. peter pan is known as the boy who never grew up. He liked peter pan as he saw himself in him which was an outlet to expressing himself.. listen to ‘childhood’ by Michael Jackson you may understand this more. Watching Michael in interviews as an adult, there are qualities in him which are very childlike, from his speech, tone, gestures, etc. For many viewers who have watched his interviews they have described his as weird and awkward. This is true.. but why? Hes never had a social life, never had any real friends, never been to the movies or gone shopping.. how could he? He would be mobbed down by fans and the paparazzi… which is why he was a recluse in his own home. how can you develop proper social skills when for years and years you’ve never had any real interactions with the real would??.. AND the reason why hes so brilliant on stage is because that’s all he knew.. he was comfortable on stage with millions of fans.. he grew up that way.
Inviting young boys to play with him was his way of being a child again.. he saw himself in them as he is a boy too.. as for girls.. there was no place for them because he isn’t a female… theres no connection.. which is why he was more comfortable with boys.
As for the molestation charges etc… the world is filled with money hungry people.. who would do anything for money, in this case lie about it no matter what the cost was. He was brought into court, the court have a very tight system.. they look into every detail, and concluded there were not enough evidence to find Michael guilty of these charges… in saying that, if you were the mother of a child who had been molested by a paedophile would you accept a large sum of money knowing the paedophile would run free and so the same to other vulnerable children?? A person in their right mind would decline this offer!
UNLESS…. They child lied about his accusations just for money. AND it appears this way. Youre right, Michael Jackson payed them out after the court hearings to shut them up… otherwise they would have the power to go to on TV sell their story for months and even years…. and the only person suffering would be Michael. So paying them to make the situation go away was better than the alternative at that time.
I don’t know if he did It or not.. I wasn’t there and neither was anyone else.. the only person who knew the truth were the boys.. but i do think we should all leave him alone so he can rest in peace.. hes been through enough which is why he died so young..
but if you have any other opinions or views, please share
peace out and God bless!
